Daily Kos: US Chamber, Biggest Front Group for Fossil Fuel Industry, Has No Idea What's About to Hit Them: "The time to strip away that respectability has come, and it starts today in DC. But it doesn't end here. Across the nation, a campaign to get businesses to declare 'The US Chamber Doesn't Speak for Me' has begun to make real progress--thousands and thousands of small businesses have already signed up to say they can speak for themselves, thank you--and that they're nimble enough capitalists to deal with a planet that runs on wind and sun. It's not just small companies either--Apple Computer has quit the chamber, and local chambers of commerce from Seattle to New York have broken their ties with the US Chamber."
